Method

Step 1

Prepare macaroni according to package directions for al dente; add frozen vegetable blend 2 minutes before cooking is done. Drain; return to pot and set over medium-low heat.

Step 2

Stir in sour cream and pesto. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce is smooth and heated through. Add shredded cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, continuing to stir until cheese is melted. Spoon into bowls and serve topped with extra cheese (if desired).

Tip

s: To make it easy to fill cannelloni, spoon mixture into a zip top bag. Cut a corner and squeeze bag to pipe filling into each end of shells. For easier preparation, chop chicken and broccoli in a food processor. To quick-thaw broccoli, run under warm water in a colander; drain well before chopping.
